Tygers and Hornets In Last Game of Series Today
Charlotte Doubles
Over Locals Friday;
Scores, 4-2 and 5-4
BY EARL "LIBERTY” BELL
UOUSTA should
outlaw doubi e -
headers, or get
the tveat her
man to hand out
a dish of rain
when "they como
round. fin o w
would be bet
ter, ns 'twere,
—anything to
keep the twin
bills away. Dou
ble affairs are
great when the
home club wins nr oven breaks
even, but when It loses both of
of 'em, It is an equine of a different
shade, st'spenk. Augusta has tost
eight games this year and exactly
half of them have been in double
headers.
FRIDAY'S TWIN-BILL at War
ren park drew a large crowd. Six
teen Inning* of baseball was served
ami Augusta collected only nine
hits. It wasn't the Tygers' day.
They hit the ball bard and often,
but it was nearly always In the
waiting bands of some fielder. It
was Just tha opposite story with
the Hornets—nearly everything
they lilt seemed to he placed Just
right to elude the Tyger defense.
Speaking of luck, It seems that
somebody else Is getting it Just
now. But the old "luck" Bluff ts
not put forth as alibi for Augusta
losing. The Tygers were simply
outplayed Friday, regardless of the
fact that the breaks seemed to be
Willi the Bees, who won the first
go, 4 to 2 and the second, S to 4.
HARRY SMYTHE, after tossing
the first game for Augusta nnd
losing It In tho first rack, essayed
to twirl tho second. Smythe pitch
ed straight hull nfter (he opening
Inning, holding the Boes sroreles*
and to two or three scattered hits.
Ho also got a had start In tho night
cap. when, with two down In tho
first rack. ’Poison singled nnd Car
lisle poh-d the hall over tho Orange
Crush sign In right for a homo run.
It was the first circuit clout over
this section of tho wall this yesr.
Hut Smythe continued to plteh un
til tba -fourth. ra!je..i>-bm _C(Utaiil
was sent In to hit for him In a
pinch. Paul Johnson finished the
evening breese, twirling stellar ball
—hut a win was not to be had.
CARLISLE ruined Augusta’s
chance* In both games. His double
In the first rack of the rurtain
rnlser drove In two runs, and his
homer and almtlc In the nightcap
accounted for three more. Carlisle
looks like the best hitter tn the
league, anil should l>rlng the Char
lotte club a handnome wad of coin
before the season Is over.
AUGUSTA threatened to tteythe
score of the tlrst game In the 9th
rark. hut the rally netted only one
run. The Tygers aleo seared the
llees In tho fourth Inning of the
second affnlr. when they took ad
vantage of Jnekaon’a wildness to
put across four runs, one short of
knotting the score. But "Itube"
Wilson was sent to the rescue for
Charlotte, nnd held the Tygers In
check easily the rest of the way.
BROWN tossed the first game
for the visitors nnd was tn splendid
form, holding the local* to six
scattered hits, three of which came
In the third.
THE AFTERNOON was not
without Its bright spots for Augus
tn. Thomas stole third In the sec
ond game, the first time It has been
done here Hits season, and Collard
came through as a pinch hitter In
the fourth rack of the nlghteap. hi*
long single bringing In two runs.
THE TYGERS nnd the Insects

BEGIN HERE TODAY
The marriage of Dolly and Nigel
Bretherton proves unhappy. When
war is declared, Nigel is glad to
enlist. He leaves Dolly In the care
of Mary Furnlval. Nigel Is killed
and Dolly marries an old sweet
heart and salts with him for
America.
When Nigel’s brother, David,
calls to see Nigel’s widow, Mary Is
ashamed to tell him of Dolly’s
rlage. David mistakes Mary for
Nigel’s wife and takes her to
live with his aunt at Red Grange.
Mary is happy In her new home
until Monty Fisher exposes her to
David. Mary runs away.
She meets an acquaintance
named Evans who tells her that
David Is searching for her. Mary
becomes frightened and thinks
David is very angry.
NOW GO C:i WITH THE STORY
No doubt he could be Just as harsh
and severe as that ancestor of his
who had turned a woman and child
into the snow to die.
She shivered a little.
Evans looked up. The drawn, strain
ed look on her face wenJL to his heart
"What—-what did you tell him?”
she asked.
ire half shrugged his shoulders.
"I knew nothing. How did I know
where you were?’*
"No—no, of course not." She sp>ko
half to herself. For the moment sl e
had forgo;ten his presence; sh“ tfas
hack again in the moonlight with Da
vid listening to his voice:
‘•You need never be afraid of me—
whatever happens."
Had he really meant that? and if
so, why had she not had the courage
to take him at his word, and make a
clean breast of the whole miser" '.e
deception?
He might have forgiven her then
he might have found it In his heart
to make excuses for her.
But now—a little pang of fear con
vulsed her. She looked at Evans
tremulously.
"You won’t tell him you saw me?
Oh, promise that you won’t tell 1
•*I will promise anything you wish
—anything."
She thanked him brokenly. The.'e
were tears in_ her ?ye«* ?he
brushed them determinedly away.
What a strange turn of the wh?el
of Fate this was, that had brouv it
them all together again! Would sne
ever really be safe from discovery
She loved David, but she dreaded
his anger. She would rather have died
she told herself, than face him now.
She had let her coffee get cold.
Evans gently drew her attention to
it.
She drank it off hurriedly She was
glad when they were out in the night
again. It was past eight o’clock then;
she stopped at the end of the road.
CHAPTER LVII
In Hospital
"I must be getting back. Don’t
think me rude if I ask you not to
come with me.”
"But I shall see you again? You
will let me see you again?”
She hesitated: she wanted to say
“No”, hut his pleading eyes checked
the refusal.
After all, he had been good to her,
and she badly wanted a friend. She
tried to temporize.
"If you will tell me your address,
I will write to you."
"You will forget to when I am
gone."
"I will not. I promise I will see you
again.”
He took a little poeketbook from
his coat, tore our a flyleaf and wrote
something on it.
* "You promise me? You will keep
your promise?"
•Yes.
She did not even glance at what
he had written. She put it away tn a
little hag she carried.
“And now I must say goodbye.”
She shook hands with him hurried
ly, She was anxious to be rid of him
now. She stepped off the path with
out looking where she was going Just
where they were standing. She saw a
taxicab hearing swiftly down upon
her. till shouted.
"Look out!” and then: "oh, my
God!”
He made a dash forward to snatch
her back, but it was too late, Mary
was only conscious of s confusion of
shouts nnd noises and flashing lights
and a dull, sickening pain, before she
went down—down —Into bottomless
blackness.
Evans was out In the road In an
instant, and kneeling beside Mary’s
prostrate figure.
She was lying on her back—one
arm bent beneath her—her (acs up
turned.
A crowd gathered Instantly. It I*
remarkable where the people come
from when an accident occurs A mo
ment sine* the road had seemed
curiously empty of pedestrians; hut
now— Young Evans looked around
with a sort of Impatient anger at the
crowd of curious faces staring at the
unconscious woman.
A policeman had arrived, snd he
was making the usual copious notes:
th* taxi-driver had left the wheel of
hi* car. and was standing, pale and
shaken, on the curb.
"She stepped right off the path
under the cab," he said, over and
over again, agitatedly. "I sounded mo
horn but she never looked where she
was‘coming. It weren’t my fault,
now, were it, sir?”
He appealed to Evans, who was
kneeling at Mary’s side.
The young man igpked up, and
shook his head. "No. I think it was
her own fault; she didn’t look where
she was going."
He had raised Mary’s head on his
arm. someone in the crowd had un
pinned her hat and removed it. Her
hair had become uncoiled, and fell
heavily over his shoulder.
"Is she dead? Do you think she is
dead?"
Evans put his question fearfully.
He had never seen anyone look so
white in all his life; her hands lay
with such inert helplessness on the
hard pavement.
The policeman shook his head pon
derously.
"Bless your heart, no—stunned a
bit, that’s all. A friend of yours, is
she?” ,
"Oh! Then you can give me her
name and address."
Evans looked confused.
"I don’t know her address—her
iiame is Mary Furnlval.* * He hesi
tated, then added: "I haven’t seen her
for some time till this evening; we
met accidentally. I don’t know at all
where she is living.”
"She’ll have to go along to the hos
pital."
Capable hands lifted her into the
taxi. Evans watched them unhappily.
They seemed to handle her so rough
ly, he thought with a little shrinking
pain in his kind heart. He was re
lieved when the policeman told him
he must come along, too. He held
her hand during the short ride to
the hospital. Once, when the guar
dian of the Jaw was looking the other
way, he bent his head and kently
kissed it.
Supposing she were dead! Or sup
posing she were to die! He could not
bear to think of it. He wondered what
David Bretherton would say, could
he know*. He knew that it was his
duty to tell him, and yet—there was
something so 6weet in knowing that
for the moment, at feast, he was
Mary’s only friend.
•'LOOKOUT:'’ AND THEN: “OH.
MY god:”
In the hospital they took her from
him. People came and asked him a
string of questions. The bare cleanli
ness of the building got on his
nerves; he would hate to die in a
hospital—he hated the idea of leaving
Mary here amongst strangers.
They left him alone in a small
waiting-room for what seemed an
eternity. Presently a young man
who looked like a student came back
to him. lie held something In his
hand.
this on Miss Furnlval,''
he said. “There is an address writ
ten at the back. Do you suppose it
is her own address, or would it be«
the address of her relatives?”
He held a little locket to Evans.
The young man took It hestiatingly.
The case was opened, and a roughly
printed amateur portrait of David
Bretherton looked up at him from
beneath the oval glass.
He turned It over mechanically. At
the back was written:
"Taken at the Red Grange, Sel
mont.” '
For a moment he did not speak.
His mind was tn a whirl, a bitter
feeling of jealousy was stabbing his
heart.
She must care for David, then, or
she wouldn't be wearing his portrait.
He raised his eyes to those of the
man watching him.
“She used to live at the~ Red
Orange, hut that Is some time ago.
Her friends hsve left there now."
It was a deliberate lie. and he w-a»
bitterly ashamed of it the moment it
was uttered. But he wanted so des
peratelyMiadly to have Mary In his
care and keeping for s little longer.
If the Brethertons knew where she
was. and what had happened, they
would come at once to claim her.
even if only a sp.rit of unfriendli
ness.
The young doctor accepted the ex
planation.
"Tou don't know If she has a
mother—or anyone, then?” he asked.
”No," Evan* was glad to be ab:o
to answer this question truthfully,
at least. Ha did not know; he knew
nothing about her beyond the llttls
SATURDAY, MAY 24
she had told him and the very little
he had inadverttently discovered.
‘‘ls she —is she badly hurt?” he
asked anxiously.
The young man shook his head.
“There is a slight concussion and
minor Injuries—that is all I can tell
you at present. If you can. call In
the morning.”
Evans' heart sank.
“You will not let me see her to
night, before I go?”
“I am afraid not. She would not
know you, anyway; she is quite un
conscious.”
Evans went away crestfallen and
unhappy. The lie he had told about
the Red Grange worried him. He
was naturally very straightforward.
All the way home he was haunted by
the feat that Mary would die.
He would have to tell the Brether
tons tlfen, and they would never for
give him.
He spent a wretched night; he
never slept a wink. He was haunted
by the memory of Mary’s white, un
conscious face. If she died, he would
never forgive himself or be happy
again.
He was up with the dawn, and
round at the hospital at an absurdly
early hour.
There was no favorable news for
him.
